Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out electrical engineering missions, using their expertise and adaptability.
    • Master and mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques relating to the basics of electricity, electronics, automation, signal analysis and processing, telecommunications; modern electrical network engineering (production, transport, distribution); electric vehicles; advanced electronic systems; wired and wireless telecommunications; intelligent sensors; human-machine interfaces; mathematical modelling and analysis of dynamic systems; process control; image processing and processing; and the use of the Internet; advanced electronic systems; wired and wireless telecommunications; intelligent sensors; human-machine interfaces; mathematical modelling and analysis of dynamic systems; process control; image and sound processing and, more s
  • Communicate and exchange information in a structured way - orally, graphically and in writing, in French and in one or more other languages - scientifically, culturally, technically and interpersonally, by adapting to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
    • Use and produce high-quality scientific and technical papers (reports, plans, specifications, etc.), adapted particularly to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
    • Master technical English in the field of electrical engineering.

Learning Outcomes of UE

AA-Channel Modeling: to understand the basic principles of commmunication channels (line theory, metallic and dielectric waveguides, free space propagation, antennas)
AA-Transmission Protocols for the Internet of Things: to give an overview of WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) or IoT (Internet of Things) transmission systems that are used nowadays to collect and transmit data in a huge amount of applications, and to give a clear view of the different step needed to provide a connection between a sensors and the laptop of a user.
AA-Case Studies: Laboratory sessions 

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

AA-Channel Modeling: Introduction; Transmission line theory (basic equations, sinusoidal traveling waves, Smith charts, transients on a line); Propagation in metallic and dielectric waveguides; Free space propagation; Antennas.
AA-Transmission Protocols for the Internet of Things: Requirements and specificities of IoT transmission; Overview of the main systems (LoRaWAN, ZigBee, Bluetooth,  ..); Specific protocols for IoT (CoAP and MQTT)
